Take it one step at a time. If you've got the add_item screen to show
you the field where you enter the author--good. If you've got the
action module set up so that you could actually add the information to
the database--good (make sure you use MySQL to check that the
information is really there). If the screen where you edit the item is
messed up, look at the HTML source, as I said a second ago, to see if
there are any error messages output. PHP probably just halted the
script and left a table unclosed, resulting a blank screen. That's why
you need to look at the HTML source. Once you get through this problem,
continue down the road of fixing things--step by step.
Good luck,
